Synopsis

"Dietary Instructions" consists of eight volumes, divided into eight categories: water and fire, cereals, vegetables, fruits, flavors, fish, and poultry. It introduces the nature and taste, compatibility, taboos, opposites, and mutual killing relationships of 360 kinds of food, as well as the diseases and harm caused by overeating, and the morphological characteristics and detoxification methods of toxic foods. It is a health-preserving monograph that specializes in dietary taboos.

Reader comments

This book is very practical! It introduces in detail the nature, taste and taboos of various foods, as well as some interesting knowledge, such as the characteristics and uses of rain in different solar terms. I remember when I was a kid, the elders in my family always said that certain foods should not be eaten with another kind. It turns out that it makes sense. I feel like this book can not only help us eat healthier, but also increase a lot of knowledge!

After Reading This, I Can Become Half a Chinese Medicine Practitioner.

I would like to read a book similar to "Energy Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine". It's not a novel, it's just a systematic analysis of Chinese medicine from ancient times to the present. Those with a certain medical foundation will definitely gain a lot!
